Top Little Hagia Sophia Hotel Reviews

Seven Hills Palace & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"What a surprise. This hotel is a 70s throwback in terms of feel, music, decor. We loved it and will certainly come back when next in Instanbul. Reception dude was ultra helpful and upgraded us. New room was 'prince' level. Marble everywhere, super king-size bed, TV within the dressing table. Plush and regal. All mod cons available. Sauna.. breakfast was usual turkish lavish offering. All great value and a true 5 star experience."

AJWA Sultanahmet

10/10 Excellent

"I’m soooo happy I chose Ajwa Sultanahmet! It was worth every penny. The team is incredibly attentive, always doing their best to accommodate your needs and make you feel genuinely at home. It reminded me of all the little things that make staying at a great hotel so special. The location is fantastic, surrounded by great restaurants and within walking distance of many of Istanbul’s top attractions. But what really sets this hotel apart is its design. The attention to detail, beautiful craftsmanship, and traditional Turkish touches make it feel like you’re staying somewhere truly special, rather than in another sleek, corporate hotel that could be anywhere in the world. I would go back in a heartbeat and honestly cannot recommend it enough. If you’re looking for a hotel that combines exceptional hospitality, a wonderful location, and an authentic sense of place, Ajwa Sultanahmet is it!"

Carina Gold Hotel and Restaurant

10/10 Excellent

"Very profesional and very friendly"

GLK PREMIER Sea Mansion Suites & Spa - Special Class

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location, great staff and good facilities. Airport shuttle worked well. All in all excellent hotel."

Erguvan Hotel - Special Class

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location. Delicious, generous buffet breakfast, several salads change daily. Modern rooms. Quiet. Spacious lobby. Bottled water supplied in rooms, also a water dispenser in the lobby to fill your personal water bottles. Best of all: Selim, the receptionist, who patiently and graciously arranged my bus trip to my next city."

Emerald Mansion Hotel – Special Class

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were very welcoming, polite and helpful. The room was spacious and comfortable. The only problem with the hotel was the stairs to enter the front door as soon as you walked in I felt were dangerous if you weren’t careful. Also inconvenient if carrying heavy luggage."

Recital Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The best possible little boutique hotel 🏨. Spotless, friendly staff and the most delicious free breakfasts you could imagine."

Asparagus Hotel Suits Old City

8/10 Good

"The place is nice, very clean, and excellently located, and the staff are helpful. However, the downside is the room size—it is extremely small. Even though I had booked well in advance, I was told upon arrival that, unfortunately, all the larger rooms were already taken. So, be sure to verify this point after making your reservation."

Basileus Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My room was perfect, nice, quiet and clean. The staff was very helpful in giving me advice on navigating the city. The breakfast was good, lots of choices. I liked the location of the hotel, close to the area around the Blue Mosque but also close to the water. I would gladly stay here again"
